Abstract
The multi-dimensional nature of vulnerabilities that result from HIV and AIDS are at first glance difficult to comprehend and measure. At the global level, focus is increasing on the relationship between HIV and AIDS and other socio-economic issues. In India, the impact of HIV and AIDS is not very visible due to the low prevalence rate and large population size. In such a scenario, it is even more important to document both human and economic dimensions of HIV and AIDS. The additional financial burden imposed on households with PLHIVs is forcing them further into poverty. An important indicator is reduction in the aggregate income of the PLWHA households surveyed by around nine percent. This has a devastating impact considering that most of the sample households were from the low income group. In this paper an analysis is made to analyze present HIV status in the country.
